making out of skin, leather, or kid a cu,

glove-top, or strip of such material stamped and punched or perforated in imitation of, and

to represent, lace of any desired pattern or de-r sign, and of any desired length or width, and either on the top of or separate from the glove The second part of my invention relates to the combination and uniting of such skin, leather, or kid cuff, glove-top, or strip of such material so stamped and punched or perforat ed in imitation of, and to represent, lace, as aforesaid, with the glove itself, so as to form a glove of skin, leather, or kid with a cuit' or top of skin leather, orkid stamped and punched or perforated in imitation of lace, as afbresaid; the object of myiuvention being to produce in and of skin, leather, or kid a glove more ornamental and desirable than heretofore made.

Figure l is a plan of the cuff, glove-top, or strip of skin, leather, or kid properly stamped and cut or perforated. Fig. 2 is a front View of theglove with cuff or top attached. Fig. 3 is a back view of same.

To the ordinary skin, leather, or kid glove, as shown in Fig. 3, `I attach, by sewing or any other suitable method of attachment, a top or cuff of skin, leather, or kid which has been already stamped and punched, perforated, or cut to imitate lace of the different patterns or styles known and used. A sufficient portion ofthe skin, leather, or kid composing this top or cuff Inay be left uncut or unperforated to form a firm and solid band of sufficient width to provide for a fastening, which may be secured around the Wrist or arm Aby button and buttonhole on the respective sides, or. any other suitable fastening device, the remaining fastenings, in any number required or desired, being on the body ofthe glove itself, as shown in Fig. 2.

The lace top or cuff Inay be made by stamping and punching, perforating, or cutting to imitate lace the appropriate portion otl the skin, leather, or kid out of which the glove itself is cut; but a separate top is better adapted to suit the different sizes required. These lace tops or cus may be of skin, leather, or kid, stained or dyed in any color desired.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The new article of manufacture consisting of a skin, leather, or kid glove with top or culi' of the skin, leather, or kid stamped and punched or perforated in imitation of lace, substantially as described.

ALBERT HARRIS.
